Gas Prices - Look 'Em Up

Why ask? Look 'em up here -- listed by city and even *station*. Highs
and lows both.

Wow!
That's cheap!

Try over $1.83 for 1 litre, thats robbery, but I just paid it.

 

That's government-imposed robbery - 80% of UK pump price is tax.

GRT RID OF BLAIR FOR GOD'S SAKE!

 

In the UK <http://www.whatprice.co.uk/car/petrol-prices.php>

For comparison at the moment, here in north London unleaded petrol is
around 90p/litre which equates with 6.13 US Dollars per US gallon. No-one
seems to be too worried, just resigned to rising prices.

 

I'll gladly take his job on.

 

AND his missus? No thanks!

 

No no, I will bring my own ;-)

 

You'd have to pay Wifeage!

 

I don't think that would have any effect on the price of petrol. Or God.

I think it's long overdue for north American governments to start taxing
vehicle fuel heavily enough to influence consumption. The same goes for
China. Aviation fuel too.

The less the world uses, the better for everyone on the planet.

Perhaps the connections between energetic weather systems, global warming,
and human activity, might start to influence the world's governments'
policies before we have hurricanes in the arctic and sea-level high enough
to permanently flood most major cities around the world.

 

Well it hasn't worked here. We have something like 80% of the pump price
in tax, and vehicle use just goes on going up. There has to be a viable
alternative method of transport before fuel tax will have any effect,
and we ain't got that here, so we just carry on paying through the nose.....

Its 98.5 cents a litre in Canada (canadian $$ of course)...same thing here,
60% of the price is damn taxes!! It is insane!! Gas prices here are 40%
higher this year, then they were last year at this time!!

 

What would vehicle use be like here if petrol was now less than 30p/litre?
I agree that better funding and management of public transport systems is
also called for.

We could also usefully revert to pre-1960s attitudes to shopping and choices
of where to live, work, and use schools - it used to be taken for granted
that these would all be within walking distance for most people. Ever
noticed that most housing built before about 1965 originally had no
provision for a garage or off-street parking?

 

What is? Crystal ball's out to the cleaners.

Where?

 

How much of that 80% has Blair added?

 

Yeah, I doubt that he added all that tax. Sounds like just another
outburst of kneejerk partisan politics, to me.

 

Welcome to the Village. You are Number 6.

 

That's nutty, at least in the US. All those tract homes that went up
in the late '40s and '50s had garages.

 

Well, sure. That's the suburbs. They were designed around the
*assumption* of vehicle use.

 

Port Meirion? Mini Mokes are economical!
